From IT to the bottom of the deep blue sea

While studying, he mixed with people from many different backgrounds, and this has helped him to understand people who have a high level of scientific training. His Open University experience has allowed him to make the transition from a career in management to a career in the charity sector without encountering too many difficulties.

The new approach to teacher education

Article Abstract:

The Open University is the largest single provider of new teachers in the UK. Its initial teacher training programme produces around 1,000 new teachers each year. Most of these have already gained experience of a different profession. The Open University's Post Graduate Certificate in education programme is designed to be flexible, thus being suitable for students who have other commitments, and also places strong emphasis on the use of information technology.
